A research team at Google conducted a study in 2016 and found that, by utilizing machine learning to examine retinal photographs, eye specialists might be able to screen a lot more patients at once, including those who live in parts of the world where eye care is not always readily available.

It’s not a perfect system just yet, but the researchers at Google are eager to continue finding new applications for machine learning and artificial intelligence in healthcare settings.

In the future, machine learning could make it far easier for physicians to diagnose people with diabetic retinopathy and a host of other diseases as well.
